Cowboys | Caleb Hanie praised by coaches Fri Jul 4, 01:38 PM
Dallas Cowboys QB Caleb Hanie got praise from head coach Jason Garrett. "He knows how to play," coach Jason Garrett said. "That's one of the things we were attracted to when we signed him in the spring. Get a guy in here who can handle the huddle and handle situations at the line of scrimmage. He's seen defenses in this league. He's started games. He's been in playoff games."
Footballguys view: We're unlikely to see Kyle Orton back with the Cowboys, so they need to find a backup to Tony Romo. Hanie can hold a clipboard, but it's not a good thing for him to be starting at any time. He'll compete with Browns castoff Brandon Weeden for the QB2 job in Dallas. |

Browns | Make roster moves Tue Dec 10, 04:40 PM
The Cleveland Browns signed RB Edwin Baker (Texans) off the Houston Texans practice squad. In a corresponding move, the team waived QB Caleb Hanie Tuesday, Dec. 10.
Footballguys view: Baker has bounced around this year, spending time with the Chargers, Broncos and Texans. With Jason Campbell healthy the team didn't need to carry Hanie anymore. |

Browns | Caleb Hanie to be backup QB Week 14 Sun Dec 8, 12:00 PM

Browns | Jason Campbell to start Fri Dec 6, 01:22 PM
Cleveland Browns QB Jason Campbell (concussion) will start in Week 14 against the New England Patriots after being cleared from his concussion suffered in Week 12. Campbell had two good days of practice, according to head coach Rob Chudzinski. Campbell will be listed as probable on the official injury report. The backup quarterback duties will fall to either QBs Caleb Hanie or Alex Tanney.
Footballguys view: Josh Gordon owners, and even Jordan Cameron owners (despite his chilly hookup with Campbell so far) should be happy about this development. |

Browns | Not ready to name starting QB Wed Dec 4, 12:03 PM
Cleveland Browns head coach Rob Chudzinski said he is not ready to name a starting quarterback for the team's Week 14 game. QBs Jason Campbell (concussion) and QB Brandon Weeden (concussion) have been cleared for activity but will not practice Wednesday, Dec. 4. QBs Caleb Hanie and Alex Tanney will split reps during practice. No quarterback has been ruled out to start the game.
Footballguys view: The team has to wait and see if Campbell or Weeden can practice. It's not a good sign if Hanie or Tanney have to start. Tanney is a great trick shot quarterback, but he lacks experience in the NFL. Hanie has plenty of experience, but he's not a quality option as a starter. |

Browns | Unlikely to use Alex Tanney Tue Dec 3, 02:10 PM
The Cleveland Browns are unlikely to start QB Alex Tanney against the New England Patriots in Week 14 if QBs Brandon Weeden (concussion) and Jason Campbell (concussion) can't play. QB Caleb Hanie was just signed to provide more depth at the position.
Footballguys view: Tanney is a great trick shot quarterback (search YouTube) but he has zero experience in the NFL. Hanie at least has started during his pro career. |

Browns | Caleb Hanie signs Tue Dec 3, 08:47 AM
The Cleveland Browns signed free-agent QB Caleb Hanie (Ravens) to an undisclosed deal.
Footballguys view: Hanie has signed because of the concussion problems of both Brandon Weeden and Jason Campbell. In case those two can't play in Week 14 we'll see Hanie compete with Alex Tanney for the starting job. The Patriots defense may be an outstanding play in Week 14 if you're streaming defenses this year. |

Browns | Caleb Hanie to work out Mon Nov 25, 02:49 PM
The Cleveland Browns will work out free agent QB Caleb Hanie (Ravens).
Footballguys view: The Browns could be looking for quarterback help with Jason Campbell (concussion) banged up. We may see Brandon Weeden as the starter for the team in Week 13. |

Ravens | Caleb Hanie might get long look Wed Aug 28, 12:45 PM
Baltimore Ravens QB Caleb Hanie is expected to get a long look in the preseason finale Thursday, Aug. 29, against the St. Louis Rams. He appears to be the frontrunner for the third-string job behind QBs Joe Flacco and Tyrod Taylor.
Footballguys view: Hanie has the veteran experience that Taylor lacks. He's not going to be the primary backup behind Flacco but the Ravens could keep him around for veteran insurance. |

Ravens | Dayne Crist gets chance for audition Wed Aug 28, 12:43 PM
Baltimore Ravens QB Dayne Crist was brought back as a camp arm only because QB Tyrod Taylor (concussion) was being evaluated for concussion this past week after getting hurt in the last preseason game against the Carolina Panthers. It is a chance for Crist to show what he can do to other NFL teams, as the QB position in Baltimore appears to be set with QBs Joe Flacco, Tyrod Taylor and Caleb Hanie at the top three spots.
Footballguys view: Crist was a disappointment during his college career. He entered college as one of the most highly touted QBs in the country. His time at Notre Dame was short lived and he ended up transferring to Kansas. Crist never seemed to play up to his potential and is looking for a practice squad spot somewhere now. |

Ravens | Tyrod Taylor favorite for No. 2 QB job Mon Jul 1, 06:36 PM
Baltimore Ravens QB Tyrod Taylor will enter training camp as the favorite for the No. 2 quarterback job but will have to compete with QB Caleb Hanie for the job. Hanie will have to stand out during camp and preseason games to win the backup job. The team could go with two quarterbacks on the final roster again this season.
Footballguys view: Taylor has a run dimension to his game that Hanie does not possess. He seems to have developed well in his time as Joe Flacco's understudy, but Flacco's durability probably means that we won't see him except in garbage time during the regular season. |

Ravens | Caleb Hanie signs Tue Apr 16, 12:09 PM
The Baltimore Ravens signed free-agent QB Caleb Hanie (Broncos) to a one-year deal for the veteran's minimum.

Ravens | Likely to add Caleb Hanie Mon Apr 15, 07:17 PM
The Baltimore Ravens are likely to add free agent QB Caleb Hanie (Broncos), although no deal is done yet.
Footballguys view: Hanie has starting experience but would only give the team veteran depth behind Joe Flacco and Tyrod Taylor. He's a camp arm who may not be a lock to make the team if signed. |

Denver Broncos head coach John Fox said the team will re-sign free-agent QB Caleb Hanie.

The Denver Broncos have released QB Caleb Hanie. There is a good chance the team looks to re-sign him Monday, Sept. 10, when his salary could not be guaranteed.
Footballguys view: Hanie did not play well in the preseason and it's surprising he made the 53-man roster in the first place. We think the Broncos would be better off just rolling with Brock Osweiler as their QB2 all season long. |

Denver Broncos QB Caleb Hanie is currently listed as the team's No. 2 quarterback ahead of QB Brock Osweiler.
Footballguys view: He's ahead on the depth chart now, but is certainly on the roster bubble and has not been impressive in camp. We think Osweiler could end up winning the primary backup job behind Peyton Manning this year. |

Broncos | Caleb Hanie agrees to two-year deal Sat Mar 24, 09:36 PM
Updating a previous report, the Denver Broncos and free-agent QB Caleb Hanie (Bears) agreed to a two-year deal Saturday, March 24, according to a source familiar with the situation.
Footballguys view: Hanie played his college ball just down I-25 from Denver in Ft. Collins at Colorado State. He played poorly for the Bears last year, going 0-4 as a replacement starter for an injured Jay Cutler. He'll give them a veteran backup behind Peyton Manning. We still expect Denver to select a QB in the mid-rounds of the 2012 NFL Draft. |

Bears | To look at QBs for backup role Fri Feb 24, 01:59 AM
Chicago Bears head coach Lovie Smith indicated the team will pursue a backup quarterback during the offseason. QB Nathan Enderle is the only other quarterback under contract besides starter QB Jay Cutler. 'We have a lot of options out there. I think this is an attractive place for a quarterback,' Smith said. 'We're going to look at all people. And I'm talking about (QB Caleb Hanie), (QB Josh McCown) and free agent quarterbacks out there. I just feel like we'll be able to strengthen that position more than we were this past year.'
Footballguys view: Enderle is a raw QB who is nowhere near seeing the field. The Bears could look at a free agent QB like Kyle Orton to upgrade their backup position. |
